The Washington Wrap
Week 13 w/ Brian McNally

It feels like an era has passed since the Redskins lost to the Cowboys on Thanksgiving - almost a full week ago! And yet, that was just 'last round', and it's back to business this week as Washington travels to Arizona.   

There is no shortage of intrigue surrounding this game, including injury clouds over key players for both sides, the playoff hunt, and the fact that this is very much a 'last stand' game for the Cardinals. So with all that in mind, hosts Chad and Mark dial up our good friend and Redskins insider Brian McNally (106.7 The Fan/CBS Local Washington) to help us break it all down. 

As always, we dive head first in to the big questions, and we hope you enjoy it!

On the Warpath - Episode 12

Happy Thanksgiving! 

Your On the Warpath hosts Anthony Raposa and Robert Henson have recorded this week's episode early so you can enjoy it as you avoid your family in the leadup to the huge game against the Dallas Cowboys. It is our Thanksgiving gift to you!

On this week's show, Anthony and Robert get into some good debates surrounding questions like 'if the Redskins beat the Cowboys, are they genuine Super Bowl contenders?' and 'was Kirk's "How do you like me know?!" a statement... or a question?  

It's another fun and feisty episode of On the Warpath. Enjoy!

Week 12 w/ Dan Steinberg

This Washington Redskins team is officially on fire! A huge prime-time win against the Green Bay Packers has everyone around the Redskins feeling frisky and feeling good. Just ask Kirk Cousins! 

There's so much happening with Cousins now that we decided to bring in the big guns this week to help us unpack his past, present, and future with the team. So hosts Chad and Mark called up their good friend Dan Steinberg from the Washington Post and the founder of the world famous DC Sports Bog to help us really analyze it. 

Will Kirk Cousins play force the Redskins hand come contract time? Could McCloughan convince fans that spending big money on a Quarterback isn't necessary? What does Cousins have to do for the rest of 2016 to cement that massive contract offer? All those questions and more this week!

Week 11 w/ Rich Tandler

After coming away from the game against the Vikings with a gritty win, the Washington Redskins still find themselves well and truly in the hunt for the playoffs in season 2016. The road ahead for them is tough though, and this week against the Green Bay Packers is the start of a brutal stretch. 

To help them preview this week's game, hosts Chad and Mark are once again joined by Redskins Insider Rich Tandler from CSN Mid-Atlantic. 

Together they talk about Green Bay and the prospect of beating them, as well as the individual play of guys like Ty Nsekhe, Maurice Harris, and of course, Kirk Cousins.

All that and more on a jam-packed episode of Redskins Capital Connection this week!

On the Warpath - Episode 10

Welcome to another edition of On the Warpath - the Redskins debate show where no holds are barred and the big questions get asked.

This week, your hosts Anthony Raposa and Robert Henson are joined by rising star Manny Benton, and together they dive headfirst in to the biggest question looming over Redskins park; can the Redskins survive without Trent Williams, especially against a nasty Vikings defense? 

Once they solve that crisis, they take a more general look at the Vikings this week, because it has all the markings of a potential trap game for Washington. 

And lastly, as we're at the midway point of the season, together they make their picks for which players will break out in the second half of the season. (Spoiler alert; it's not Trent Williams).

Week 10 - Midseason Review w/ Michael Phillips

With the Redskins coming out of a bye week, and heading into their final 8 games for the season, what better time to take a moment to review the progress thus far. 

To help us out, hosts Chad and Mark are joined by our good buddy and Redskins insider Michael Phillips (Richmond Times-Dispatch). 

Starting from Kirk Cousins and working our way down through both sides of the ball, we discuss which units are working effectively and which units need to improve if the Redskins are going to stay in the playoff hunt. 

We then cast our eyes forward to Minnesota this week, and the run home behind them. It's a tough schedule from here on out for Washington; can they do enough to keep their heads above water?

Also we reveal the current leaderboard for the Redskins Capital Connection season MVP!

On the Warpath - Episode 09 w/ Mark Bullock

As soon as the news of Trent Williams' suspension for recreational drug use was announced, you just knew that On the Warpath was going to be right on this issue!

In fact, this week there was so much happening that hosts Anthony Raposa and Robert Henson brought in a third party to help them find their way through the big issues; Mark Bullock from the Washington Post Insider and Bleacher Report. 

Together, they ask the question 'how will Trent Williams suspension affect the team moving forward', as well as discussing the Running Back situation between Rob Kelley and Matt Jones, and what the Redskins need to be focusing on during the bye week.

As always, things may get a little bit heated, so if you can't handle that; stay off of the warpath!

Week 09 w/ Mike Jones

After 8 games the Redskins go into the bye week with 4 wins, 3 losses... and a tie?! 

The question of whether ties should still exist in the NFL isn't the only one answered on the Redskins Capital Connection podcast this week, as hosts Chad and Mark dial up good friend of the show Mike Jones (The Washington Post) to expand on his comments from Wednesday regarding Kirk Cousins that set Redskins fans ablaze on social media.

We also cover the latest news and developments surrounding the Trent Williams suspension, as well as a quick look into the coaching to name just a few of the topics covered. 

This is not an episode you'll want to miss! Absolutely ridiculous levels of insider knowledge from around Redskins park, and it's all right here for you on the Redskins Capital Connection.
